Lot 150 , Manner of Daum Frères and Edgar Brandt (French, 1880–1960): A textured glass and cast-iron mounted table lamp

Manner of Daum Frères and Edgar Brandt (French, 1880–1960): A textured glass and cast-iron mounted table lamp, 50cm high (inc. later fittings)

Note: A similar piece is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, the glass listed as being made by Daum, probably by Paul Daum for Daum Frères, the mounts possibly designed by or in the style of Edgar Brandt, made by Louis Majorelle, 1925 (accession number CIRC.357-1971)

This shape was also produced as a vase - see the example in the city museum, Place Stanislas, Nancy. Around 1900, Daum Frères were central to the École de Nancy, the group of glassmakers, furniture makers, architects and designers of whom perhaps the most celebrated was Emile Gallé. By 1925, Daum Fréres had moved on from their own distinctive art nouveau style to a highly polished commercial line in cast, chunkily modelled glass in the taste of the mid and later twenties. Louis Majorelle, furniture designer and the maker of the bronze mount also collaborated with the glass maker Argy-Rousseau.
